B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the -recipients certificate, B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and -B<flags> is an optional set of flags. - -=head1 NOTES - -OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this -function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur. - -Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed -to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure. - -The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter. - -If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted -from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is -returned. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. -The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3) - -=head1 BUGS - -PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would -be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database. - -The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as -mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify(). - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<PKCS7_encrypt(3)|PKCS7_encrypt(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -PKCS7_decrypt() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.5 - -=cut |
